The magic of watching my seeds grow into seedlings never seems to wain, whether as a child or as a slightly older girl in her 30′s!

My soil blocks were a success! I am super excited to use them again. As you can see my herbs are more than ready to get moved into larger pots and into the garden.

It looks like my Borage has taken over the tray – he just doesn’t want to share the space. It germinated and grew so fast it looks as though it is shading the other plants.
Yet another reason I need to transplant these guys soon!
One thing that will make seed starting even more fun (if that’s even possible) next year will be my awesome new potting bench! We have an unfinished walk-out basement and I am making it my new potting studio complete with an actual potting bench!

No more potting in the garage or cringe, living room! I have enough space to store, propagate and pot-up plenty of garden goodness!
And it even has a dry sink!

I cannot wait to make it messy with a new soil mix!
I really think this is my favorite part of our remodel.
I am planning to propagate using cuttings this year and I will definitely make use of this space.





















I always have such a hard time deciding what to grow – I have this tendency to get a little overzealous when I have a seed catalog in my hands. So I have this rule for herbs (because in my mind I can never have too many), if I don’t use it in the kitchen I won’t grow it. So naturally I sow a lot of thyme.
